INDIANAPOLIS – Queens and Carson-Newman have been selected to compete in the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship south/southeast regional, it was announced on Friday evening.
Carson-Newman earned the SAC's automatic qualification bid after winning the SAC Championship, while Queens received an at-large selection. Additionally, Wingate's Benedict Gebhardt received one of the regional's four individual selections.
The regional will take place May 5-7 at Savannah Quarters in Savannah, Ga. The national championship will then be May 19-23 in Allendale, Mich.
